The video came after Balenciaga were forced to release a statement apologising for their latest campaign as it included images of young children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage.
One image also showed paperwork about a Supreme Court ruling on child pornography on a table and the images have since been removed following the backlash.
They said: "We would like to address the controversies surrounding our recent ad campaigns. We strongly condemn child abuse; it was never our intent to include it in our narrative.
“The two separate ad campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.
“The first campaign, the gift collection campaign, featured children with plush bear bags dressed in what some have labelled BDSM-inspired outfits. Our plush bear bags and the gift collection should not have been featured with children.
“This was a wrong choice by Balenciaga, combined with our failure in assessing and validating images. The responsibility for this lies with Balenciaga alone.”
